2.1.2 — No Keyboard Trap

Keyboard focus must never get trapped in a component with no way out.

Level AOperable

What it means

Keyboard focus must never get trapped in a component with no way out.

How to meet it

Ensure modals and widgets allow focus to move away (and Esc to close).

How AccessScan checks this

This criterion needs a rendered page or human judgement (for example colour contrast, focus visibility, or media review), so it’s part of manual testing and our upcoming deep scan rather than the free static scan.
